Apache 1.3.19, Tomcat 4.0, mod_webapp, SSL and isSecure()

I have just installed Tomcat 4.0 with Apache as described above.
If I have a servlet deployed on an "https" web server, the
HttpServletRequest.isSecure() method returns false instead of true.
Why is this, and how can I fix it?

(I don't want to just set 'secure="true"' on the Warp connector in
server.xml because the same connector is used for non-https sites
too. The documentation for the warp connector appears not to be
written yet :( )
